Fret help.......

[weepaul]

Some of the frets (about 2) on the upper register of the neck seem a little more worn around the E and A string. Plays fine and I don't play that high up the neck. They're round about the 14/15th fret ,just incase theres a problem that could get worse. Any suggestions ? Cheers.

If the bass plays fine & the wear isn't causing any problems I'd leave it.
You could always have the frets dressed if it's bothering you.

I agree. But I would go for a fret level and dress, at a reputable luthier.

Yes it will do the job, but you need to know what you're doing to do it properly.

Yeah I use that kit. Love it. Easy to follow instructions and does a great job. It's worth getting yourself a fret rocker as well though as it will really help finding those pesky high frets.
